On Saturday, December 12, at approximately 12:40 p.m., deputies along with emergency services personnel were dispatched to the area of Voyles Road and New Bear Creek Road in reference to a motor vehicle collision with multiple people injured.
Deputies identified the driver as Cody Dabney, age 35 of Louisville, Kentucky.
Evidence at the scene and driver statements indicated that Dabney was traveling northbound on Voyles Road, in a 2005 Honda Civic. Dabney crested the steep hill at Bear Creek Road and the rear of his vehicle became loose, which caused the vehicle to go into a skid and travel off the west side of the roadway and collide head on with a tree, on the edge of a creek.
Dabney was transported by ambulance to a hospital in Louisville, Kentucky for treatment of his injuries.
Jennifer Thompson, age 24 of Louisville, Kentucky was a front seat passenger in the vehicle. Thompson was transported by Air Medical to a hospital in Louisville, Kentucky for treatment of her injuries. Thompson had to be extricated from the vehicle by fire department personnel.
